HTC Announces Their Windows Phone 8S by Nobody: 7:25pm On Sep 19, 2012


HTC has announced their mid-range play into the Windows Phone 8 marketplace. The Windows Phone 8S by HTC is a vibrant looking device that packs a punch of color to hopefully make it stand out on retail shelves. The design is supposed to resemble that of a pillow with a softly rounded back and a rectangle facing front.

The device packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1 GHz chipset, 512 MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, 1700 mAh battery, GPS, Beats Audio, 5 MP camera and Wi-Fi but the device, like the 8X, does not have NFC. The device also has a removable SD card, which does separate itself a bit from the 8X with its fixed 16 GB of storage.

Display-wise you are getting a 4.0-inch Super LCD panel with a WVGA resolution, coated with Gorilla Glass as you would expect . The device is also more particularly slim, coming in at 10.28mm although the curving should help to hide this.

Look for this device to hit retail shelves in early November, alongside the 8X, after the likely Windows Phone 8 announcements by Microsoft at the end of October on 150+ operators in 50+ countries.

Re: HTC Announces Their Windows Phone 8S by Nobody: 7:30am On Sep 20, 2012
This phone is for those who can't afford the 8X I believe. The HTC 8X comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, clocking in at 1.5 GHz across two cores and also supplemented by 1 GB of RAM. The display is a 4.3-inch 1280 x 720 Super LCD 2 panel coated with Gorilla Glass 2, and surrounded by a 10.1mm thin curved case that comes in Nokia-style colors known as "California Blue, Graphite Black, Flame Red and Limelight Yellow".

Other specs include a rear 8-megapixel camera with a BSI sensor, f/2.0 lens and LED flash, plus a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera with 88-degree field-of-view; 16 GB of on-board storage and a 1,800 mAh battery. Naturally, Windows Phone 8 is on-board with some exclusive accent colors to match the hardware, plus Beats Audio enhancement.

All the phones I've used have been dark colours cos I thought its cool although I prefer white when I see it with people.
That said, this recent colour splurge with WP got me thinking otherwise. Its like a breath of fresh air.
The only thing is dat it would get everyone looking at your phone once its out. Some people might like this, some might not.

Although there is the traditional black, I most likely will pick a bright one (Maybe yellow or blue) if I purchase one.

It's a matter of choice really. I love the option of multiple colors. However, it will look out of place in a corporate environment. Lol !!!

Thats why there are black and white ones for the cooperate guys and coloured ones for funky peeps.

However, from the sale data of the Lumias which show that cyan colour was the most wanted, I think alot of people want a change. The only thing is that the new Lumias are glossy which kind of gives it a cheap look.

These phone manufacturers are not serious one bit...With all the new releases, its pretty much obvious that QWERTY keypads are gradually going extinct!
Re: HTC Announces Their Windows Phone 8S by SamMilla1(m): 5:24pm On Sep 20, 2012
This oyibo should allow us to rest. They are releasing new models of everything everyday. How do they expect us to sell our old phones and buy new ones when they release new ones every day. They should be regulations on when each company can release new products.

I'd have to be threatened with sharia punishment to touch that "new" dinosaur phone with a 5000ft stripper pole.
Re: HTC Announces Their Windows Phone 8S by Nobody: 5:31pm On Sep 20, 2012
With all these "Touch Screen" gadgets flying around, does this mean the death of "Physical Keyboards" (it's one of those reasons I've always kept a Bold or E7 around)

Guess you don't know much about HTC phones
Re: HTC Announces Their Windows Phone 8S by na2day(m): 5:48pm On Sep 20, 2012
Honestly, the Lumia 920 and these Htc are really beautiful, though the HTC's gaudy colors make it look girlish grin
Windows Phone is finally coming of age!
2013 is really going to be very interesting, especially with Firefox OS joining the fray!

Wow, nice phones from HTC. I wonder how they'd stack up against the Lumia 920.
